So we enjoyed a week at the beach in this house with our family. The space in the house was great, we really enjoyed the big open living room, back porch, and upper sun deck has a great view of the ocean and pier. The outdoor areas, porches, decks, outdoor shower, grill, etc. could all use a good cleaning. Everything was covered in dust and pollen. A few things we didn't like are: The driveway, it's very steep, not easy to walk up or down to the beach and parking and turning around to leave is not easy. More than 2 cars and your gonna have a struggle. I never imagined a beach driveway being this steep, it's much more like pulling into a MTN house. It is paved and will take some getting used to. Be careful with the door knob/locked entrance door. It is too close to the door jam and there is a sharp metal piece in the seal that will scrape your fingers, 3 of us learned this the hard way. I know it sounds weird, but use your right hand to open the door and you'll be fine. There was no full size trash can in the kitchen, which had us wasting trash bags and taking out the trash a lot. The ice maker barely worked in the freezer so plan on buying a bag of ice.Being able to drive to the gated parking lot at the beach access was great. There is a key fob hanging in the kitchen to open the gate, took us a little bit of reading to figure that out. It's a short walk but because of the driveway we mostly drove it. The beach access is great.
